My 9-year-old daughter really wants a tablet, and I'm considering getting her one of the ultra cheap ones that's floating around, especially in this cyber-sale week. She doesn't have the best history of caring for her things, so I don't want to spend more than $100 on something she'll likely break sooner than I'd like to know. I recognize this means I'll end up with junk, but I'm trying to filter the junk.
My main concerns are having at least Android 2.1, and the ability to hopefully hack the genuine Market onto it, although I'll settle for the Amazon Appstore. Being able to do all the basic things without being horrific at it would also be very nice.
Does anyone have a specific model they could point to? I'm seeing some Velocity Microsos and Pandigitals on sale, along with some cheap no-names from sites like ahappydeal.com, but I'm trying to make an informed decision.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
DealExtreme.com have a lot of Android items. Just be sure to read the reviews. They may be extremely cheap but there are limitations. I use the website to buy cheap gadgets as gifts for my friends lol. But yea, if you need a simple Android tablet with a certain spec give them a try.

Yeah, I already buy a lot of things from there, but was hoping I might find someone who has more direct experience with a specific model.
I'd run up to Walmart, Staples, Office Max, or Radio Shack and see what they have in regards to e-readers. Velocity Cruz Micro is one I believe is sub $100 one at my local Radio Shack. Find one that you like for the price and then see if your able to load the market, or better yet a custom rom.
When your looking in the less than $100 catagory, that's probably your best bet. They're at least made with some care for the consumer in mind, where as an elcheepo china model isn't.

I've not seen anything there in a price point below the Nook Color you're writing from. Certainly no sub-$100 Android tablets. Or has their inventory changed recently?
Well Fry's, BestBuy or Office Max will probably be your best bet to get the feel. Read some reviews on NewEgg or something xD
Oh my bad sub $100. No go with retail stores. Definitely Ebay or DealExtreme. Hard to imagine local stores selling anything cheaper than that.

Fry's is a vague possibility, yes. The other two don't carry tablets that low-end, though. Not by a long shot.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
Yes, I was looking at the Velocity Cruz units that were on sale on 1SaleADay today, but as I dug into reviews I wasn't liking what I saw. Some really odd limitations and compatibility issues that concerned me. Left me thinking they'd be no less of a frustration than the Chinese ones from the descriptions. Might not be accurate, but that's why I was hoping for people with some real-world experience who did some of the hacking themselves.
Well, I can't help you there, but I can tell you with these cheep units that your experience will almost be gauranteed to be a crapshoot. It might work for me, it might work for you, it might not. I'll dig around the net and see what I can find for you though. I'll report back in the morning, I gotta get some rest for the night.

Really appreciate the assistance. I've done some research of my own, too. I'd love to get her something really good, but I just know for a fact that if I do I'll get a call a week after Christmas that she left it out in the snow, or her dog chewed it up, or something. But I also don't want to get something that will frustrate her enough to CAUSE that.
Wasn't there a £30 7" tablet floating around eBay with a capacitive touch screen running 2.1 Eclair? I'm sure somebody mentioned it on these forums a while back and a few members bought one for family members, might be worth a look there.
Good luck finding one.
Well, most of what I'm finding is Chinese ones that break the hundred dollar mark after shipping and what not. The ones that stay below that either turn to vaporware or are ungodly aweful.

Ah I see, sorry I can't help you any more, I'm not really into tablets and stuff so whatever knowledge I have of the tablet market is very limited.

While I agree, which was my concern, if I go above that point it's both prohibitively expensive and a really stupid move on my part. I know her well enough to be shocked if this thing survives more than six months. If it does, then I can consider putting real money toward a good one for her. But this is basically a test run both of her responsibility and of how into it she really is.

Be very careful with cheap tablets. They are all extremely weak. Ugly performance, ugly screen. Your kid will hate android having this as first toy.

I am not amused by your phones performance
New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.
So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.
Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

That's a fair chunk more than I was hoping.
This in my opinion is MS's last chance to get a slice of the mobile market with their W8 Eco system.
With their partners charging that much, I don't hold up much hope.
I was in hopes, RT would be a touch lower in price. Seeing this amount does take some of my excitement away!!!!!
It has me on a rethink........
Maybe my best option is to snag a used W500 tablet and upgrade the O/S to Win8. Use the money I save to buy a pocket battery extender for use on long trips.

I'm seriously considering an Atom version right now since I don't think I'll need a Core CPU.
I haven't seen a Surface Atom version mentioned, but I hope they will exist since I think the form factor is pretty sweet.
The next few weeks should be pretty interesting, once reviews/prices/comparisons are released.

the two posts directly above mine that you quoted also were a little surprised at the price. after a little thought, it would be a very good idea to only sell these wp8/surface devices in the Microsoft stores: customers won't be able to see the 1/4 priced droid tablets or 2/3 prices I pads ( that everyone thinks is the second coming) and limit the leaching to other platforms.

we'll see fairly soon how consumers feel about the pricing. the hardware is g r e a t, so I doubt that will be any reason for poor sales. pricing is sooooo cut throat in tab markets.
A bit off topic, but there is the odd person who comes to these forums looking for help with their S4 clone. I had often considered one of these handsets before and still get tempted by the lost cost/decent specs, but think I'll stay away for good now.

Because we are all saying 'STAY AWAY'.
If one of us said 'Best phone I ever brought' it would be closed.
But in the end I wouldn't bother wasting my money again in the future with those phones.
Better way of not getting a clone is to check the hardware of the device .
Mainly clone or copy have same software but hardware is diffrent .There are many apps to check the hardware .Better be alert

hi folks
am after a little help please. i am looking to buy the 64gb version of this phone if i can get an invite. but that is NOT what this thread is about. Im a little confused over the pricing structure and was hoping some folks could explain it to me and maybe say what they did?
Ok so i looked here http://oneplus.net/one and the price shows as $349 which converts to about £215. great that looks like an awesome price for this spec. Im sold and now i want one.
However, this morning whilst doing my usual reading and searching i happened upon this http://oneplus.net/uk/one which shows the price as £269?!?! Ok so now i am confused. there appears no difference between the phones linked and they are both apparently from the same official source. SO why the huge price difference??? Could i not just buy from the first link and save 20% or would they not ship the phone to england if i buy from that page, or worst still would i get hit with huge custom charges? If it just means the shipping takes longer than the price would justify the wait.
Sorry for the questions but im really on the edge about buying this phone and for £215 im sold but at £269 well thats a different sale i need to make to the missus lol.
Thanks for looking and for any help advice you can offer,

helpful? How could it be?
My question was why are there two different prices listed for this phone one in gbp and one in dollars. And can i or anyone in the uk purchase the phone and pay in dollars? If its possible would anyone here know if we would have to pay customs duty?
With that restated you have attempted to derail my thread by making it about using the search function.
The first is a link to a comment from opo saying this phone can be purchased in the uk.
Your second link is an off topic thread for folks in the uk. Both not even from xda
The third link is about using the phone on threes network.
The fourth link is about someone asking where the phone can be purchased and appears to end with folks talking about selling/buying on gumtree.
The fifth is about someone asking about how long their order may be in the delivery process.
Would you care to elaborate how that in anyway shape or form answers my question? Or can you answer my question? Or would your searching powers be able to show me the link to that answer?
If not i dont really get what you hoped to achieve with your two posts. And would humbly ask you to please reply no further.

I have just had to waste 5 minutes of my life to respond to your comments which im never gonna get back. If you dont like/agree or have any useful info to provide to a topic please just ignore it!
Apologies to anyone else that has had to read these comments they are pointless and achieve nothing. They will also undoutedly prevent me from getting an answer to my original question.

They are UK related links with individuals from your area that would be better equipped to ask your question.. This is why I posted it but derailing was not my intention. I felt my info was helpful if you did not then OK....

then fair play and i thank you for your help.
ok guys just in case anyone else comes across this issue i think i know the coup now.
I went online to order the phone via an invite i was kindly given by a member here. It automatically took me to the price in us dollars so i went through the order process and when i tried to pay via paypal. It said i was in the wrong store and it forced me to the uk store and to then pay in gbp. So it did indeed ultimately cost me the extra 20%. I know i could have got it sent to a pal of mine in america but i didn't.
Hope this clarifies the situation for anyone else wondering.
It also applies for €.
Its pretty clear the oneplus/UK site 269 pretty simple? In us its 349 something like that. There's a difference in price because of different vat etc.
I bought a one plus one I'm in UK I managed to understand....
So I remembered watching this video of an amazing novelty case for the iPhone 6 and 6+ and always wanted to get one...
Turns out it was actually made!(albeit a different manufacturer) You can go to their site here to check it out.
Is anyone else seriously interested in something like this? Turns out they don't ship to the states but Canadians can get it! I'm sort of hoping on the off chance for someone to order one for me to buy... It's about $19 CAD or $15.50 USD. Shipping is about $33.50 CAD or $27.20 USD for you folks interested.
Hey where does it say that it doesn't ship to USA?

I tried checking out and the only countries listed are as follows: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Canada.
Is no one really that interested? I can see why the cost of the case might not even be worth it at all. Just wanting to see if there was anywhere else since I've scoured the webs and haven't found one for our note 4.
That is possibly the stupidest case design I have ever seen. I'm betting after a few days use your phone will probably fly off it flipping it around like that!
Design looks cheap and ugly to me, and the nanchaku trick thing is stupid. Why would you want to do that, and with an $800 phone no less?
Sorry, but thats my 2 cents.

Lol! Like everyone else said... Looks silly to me. And risky! Why not just get a butterfly knife if you feel the need to flip stuff? Safer that way. Maybe us naysayers are too old for this stuff. Beside the fact (putting aside whether it's cool or not) I wouldn't even think of it unless I had insurance on it. God I feel like an old fart

I have a balisong, but you can't exactly flip that in public
The phone for me was purchased second hand for a fraction of the posted $800 so I can understand people feeling iffy about that if they did pay that much.
All-in-all, understood everyone.
I do like the adjustable angle to stand your phone up. All of these kickstand cases only have one set angle--the bad one.
